Where do you live, Maine? Every grocery store around me has seaweed and cacti and I live in the sticks. Only the most demographically challenged parts of the country lack Asian and Mexican options in the supermarkets.
- dmix 8y agoI just said whether or not it’s available isn’t the only metric but whether people want to eat it or not. Which plays far more into revenue than just margins. The fact some grocery stores have it is besides the point.
- Nasrudith 8y agoI haven't found that true in the Northeast at all, even to "debatable if it is the north or the south" Maryland. From my perspective it seems like a regional bias like thinking every convenience store has Philadelphia soft pretzels when in reality it makes it to the tristate area as staple standard at best. Sure you can get tacos, salsa, and egg rolls just about everywhere but any non-mainstream produce like plantains or lychee let alone seaweed or cacti are niche enough to call for specialty supermarkets.
